Collier posits African food production has failed to keep pace with demand over the course of several decades, suggesting that there is a deep problem with respect to innovation and investment.

Byerlee will lay out a number of models of inclusive agribusiness growth and the institutional and policy context as well as commodity characteristics that favor these models. He will also discuss cross-cutting policy priorities to enable the growth of commercial agriculture and agribusiness.The symposium is part of a larger series on Global Food Policy and Food Security hosted by the Center on Food Security and the Enivronment Sponsor: Center on Food Security and the Environment Audience: Africa's Food Systems in 2030FacebookTwitterEmailPrintAdd to CalendarPaul Collier and Derek Byerlee will share the stage to discuss Africa's food systems in 2030.
